op to remove loose skin

[Tonibones10]

I know I'm years away yet but my hospital have said under no circumstances will they fund an op for excess skin removal I was just wondering if anyone was gettin there's done on the nhs or funding yourself and how much its costing if you don't mind me asking? Just wondering how long I'm going to have to save HahA Xx Xx

Thank you, mine have said that's what they used to do and it may change back if the money crisis changes but for now they won't do it which is a pain but hopefully in a few years I can get saving for it Xx

Ye especially if people are getting sores and infections I can understand why people want it done. I would love it but I'm too much of a wimp, it took alot of courage for me to go for sleeve. Also another factor is I might have more children some day as I'm only 27 and think they like you to have finished having your family for tummy tuck. X

I lost 17 stone 10 (and regained weight - hence the op) and had really bad loose skin, which naturally I hated.
Having regained weight and in the process lost confidence, energy and a bit of mobility I'd have the skin back in a heartbeat!
Clever dressing and supportive undies is where I'm heading. I couldn't deal with any more surgery (this may change in future, but 6 days after the RNY I'm fairly certain it's a 'No')

You guys are much younger than me and it probably matters more xx

Good luck with your journeys!

Ny hospital made me sign a form saying I would not ask for plastics. I have been told if I get bad sores my GP can send me to another hospital so it may take time but it is possible to get but only under medical need in our PCT.
I had the op so I could have children so I don't want plastics as no point doing a tummy tuck just to stretch it. Also boob jobs can cause a problem with brest feeding so I am happy with the skin.
Saying that hubby said if I want any work done we can save but after having the RNY I would like to avoid having any other op.......

I don't know if it does help but light weights are meant to tone you so that is what I am doing. I have got wrist and ankle weights to have on when i am doing house work or out for a walk.
Good luck x

you look quite young so your skin should be quite elastic, as you age the skin looses elastin and collagen and thats when the dreaded droop happens! belgium prague and poland are popular for plastics, UK is expensive. always get a referal from docs if uk, as ANYONE can practise in this country but in europe they have to be qualified ( i think)

Yeah I'm only 22 so just crossing my fingers for now but if I need it I probably would go abroad everything to do with this op seems dearer here xx

I was given a very rough guide of about £2500 for plastic surgery for excess skin removal by the private uk hospital I had my sleeve done. I went through Nhs for sleeve who paid private hospital but Nhs said right from start that them funding any surgery for excess skin would most definitely NOT be an option! Hope this helps
